You can only list an ad or an auction on eBay for 7 days. Once the listing ends, you will have to relist them to reactivate and gain exposure. It normally isn’t a problem if you only have a handful of items, which you can relist one by one. However, if you have tens or hundreds of items posted, it’s very difficult and time-consuming to do so. Fortunately, there’s a built-in mechanism in eBay that allows you to relist all your ended listings by bulk or batch.

Steps

Part 1

Monitoring Active Selling

1

Log into your eBay account.

2

Look at your Active Selling items. Take note of the time left, and make a mental note so that you know when to come back once they’ve ended.

Part 2

Accessing Unsold Items

1

View the dashboard. There’s a summary view on the left part of the page.

2

Expand “Sell Views.” Under the Summary panel, look for “Sell” and click on it to expand its view. You’ll see the following:

All Selling

Scheduled

Active

Sold

Unsold

Deleted

3

View all unsold items. Click on “Unsold.” You will be brought to another page that lists all your unsold items. These are listings that ended without buyers.

Part 3

Relisting Unsold Items

1

Select items to relist. You can select all of them or just a few of them by checking the tick boxes beside each item.

From this view, you can also relist items one at a time by clicking “Relist” under the Actions column.

2

View items to relist. Once you’ve selected the items to be relisted, click the Relist button found at the bottom. Your selected listings will be processed and displayed.

3

Edit item details. In the Relist view, you can make minor changes on individual item listings. It’s in a spreadsheet type of view, where you can edit individual cells. Just click on the cell you’d like to edit and make the necessary changes. You can make changes to the following:

Photos

“Buy it now” price

Starting price

Condition

Format

Duration

Category.

4

Finalize the items to relist. You can select all of them or just a few of them by checking the tick boxes beside each item.

5

Relist selected items. Click “Submit changes” found at the bottom of the page.

6

Confirm and submit. Review the summary and the associated fees for the listings, if any.

Once you’re satisfied with your changes, click on “Confirm and submit.”

A confirmation message will be shown when the processing is done.

7

View relisted items. Click on “Finish.” All the selected previously unsold items are now removed from the Unsold view. They can now be found under the Active Selling list.
